Just asked the bride, who does a bit of proof reading states it can be 'draw bar' or 'drawbar' but not 'drawer bar'.

She went on at great length to explain but I stopped listening.

Since it ‘draws’ the trailer along I am going to vote for the former. A drawer is a compartment which slides out of a piece of furniture - or the bloke writing me the cheque. A cheque is ...... old.

I'd back the expression 'draw bar' even if you put a hyphen in there.
A draw bar can be a single pole arrangement also.  Just like with a horse drawn vehicle.

Exactly - you draw the trailer along behind the car.   Drawbar!

Or it could be the drawer at the back of the bar, where the barman, sorry barperson, keeps the coasters ??? >:D
